Well, for a begineer, yes there are many. But I don't know your status by self on your skill range. I was hoping to add to the download sections for UGN Security, one of them being the Phreaking section. But I have little time on my hands right now, stuff planned for thanksgiving long ago. Among added, would be a few texts by me, two of those were on phreaking techniques, and socialing. Among other topics. I'd say your best bet is http://groups.google.com search the dejanews transfered, and updated usenet for topics right now. The UGN Security phreaking boards hold some info. They will hold more, as will the download section. Best of luck friend.

kind of a beginner, is ok. try to notice ppl not being rude on here but obvious, because it limits replies, and it usually ends topics so others can begin. No on here starts anything but misunderstandings, when ppl get mad. From what I've seen. 3 more months left of school, graduate in electronics engineering technologist(well not a beginner in all sorts, maybe just phreaking for now). There is a term called H/P/V/A/C Hacking Phreaking Virii Anarchy Coding. It's a term that has held for a long time, main areas of skill for a big popular that tearned "hat" crazy. Ghost's can't where hats. this semester one of my courses is Telecom.(fear lol, your behind a bit, heh I'd be glad to "help", and "encourage" you on Ugnirc when I'm there, or here in posts. "So i kinda know some stuff", some are born with it, some learn it, some know it, some love it, some leave it, some don't care. I can say one thing spending alot of time reading isn't worth it, imo...if your true, if your powerful, if you have "balls" then research first hand is worthy.

Accessing the systems are more beneficial. But as a beginner I believe it was said to try KB, Knowledge Base on the main page, that's a good start. Googling for shit is a good start. That is if you want to read. I'm me, your you. I can refer, or concur. Some by my own choice, some by a question or plead. In the end, it's all good.
